Today I would like to introduce you to a thriller movie starring Dawn, one of the four kings. The film won many awards, with which Dawn became the Golden Horse Award-winning film emperor, and the daughter of the famous martial arts actress Zheng Peipei, Yuan Liqi, played the dead body in it, and won the Hong Kong Golden Statue Best Newcomer Award. Director Chen Kexin later shot many excellent films such as "Win the Championship", "Dear", "Chinese Partner" and so on.
The policeman played by Zeng Zhiwei moves into the dilapidated building with his children, which is basically empty, revealing a terrifying atmosphere everywhere. In addition to the building administrator, Mr. Yu and his wife, played by Li Ming, became the only neighbors of Zeng Zhiwei's father and son. However, this Mr. Yu is ghostly, and his daughter is also hidden from time to time. Dilapidated buildings, empty rooms, ghostly neighbors, the film is here to take the road of pure Hong Kong ghost films.
The policeman played by Zeng Zhiwei works during the day, and the child returns home alone from school again to meet the strange little girl, is taken to the magical photo studio, and disappears. Zeng Zhiwei, who wakes up in the middle of the night, looks for his son in the horror building and finally knocks on the door of Mr. Yu, played by Dawn, but is told by Mr. Yu that he does not have a daughter.
Zeng Zhiwei sneaked in while Dawn was out and found the body soaked in the bathtub, but was immediately knocked unconscious by Dawn.
The film ends here and begins to take the path of crime thriller. Bodies soaked in bathtubs, men in mental disorder, bruises left over from violence on corpses, police officers looking for their sons. Mr. Yu, played by Li Ming, said that he resurrected his wife through chinese medicine, which seems to the audience and the policeman Zeng Zhiwei in the movie, it seems to be credible. Now the plot begins to move towards the psychologically distorted crime story route of loving his wife.
On the day of Mr. Yu's wife's resurrection, police officers Zeng Zhiwei and Mr. Yu were silently waiting for the resurrection of the body at dawn. Because the policeman played by Zeng Zhiwei was imprisoned by Dawn and did not go to work for several days, the police came to the door. In this way, the resurrection process of the corpse was interrupted. The body was pulled away, and an accident occurred while Dawn was chasing.
At this time, the movie began to gradually uncover the truth, and it turned out that the Chinese medicine doctor played by Dawn was really resurrecting his wife, and the process was indeed effective. It is only regrettable that when it is about to succeed, it is interrupted by a random arrangement of fate.
The unexpected death of Mr. Yu played by Dawn and the final resurrection of his wife are enough to tear up, and the videotape found by police officer Zeng Zhiwei while handling the case reveals a bigger secret. Originally, Mr. Yu had already died once, and it was his wife, who also studied Chinese medicine, who resurrected him.
However, this time, the two people failed to support each other in the end to a happy life.
In addition to telling a very tear-jerking love story, this movie is also very playful in terms of storytelling techniques. First the path of the ghost film, then the psychological distortion of the crime story, and finally a story of life and death. It is no wonder that although this film belongs to the thriller horror genre, it still receives many affirmations, including the Hong Kong Film Awards Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
